I knew I needed a gym that could provide community and make working out something I looked forward to, especially after historically having structure in my workouts due to sports. The squad of trainers, the variety, the pop-ups - there's truly something for everyone and every version of how I'm feeling. Total supportive zone with women from every walk of life - unbeatable and so empowering. Shape Up Shoppe made it so easy to get into a routine and actually be excited about working out... plus it's affordable and I already see noticeable results after hardly a month. 100x over recommend. Come hang.

I have tried many different gyms and this one feels like a community. The knowledge that Julie (owner) and the other trainers have about fitness, nutrition, etc is remarkable and allows them to give personalized feedback depending on your fitness goal! You can tell that the owner and staff truly care about your fitness goals. Unlike other gyms, if you miss a class, they encourage you to make it up and try a different class rather than losing the money. Cardio Complete - these classes are a great full body workout with routines that each target different muscle groups. Incorporating bodyweight exercises, dumbbells, jump ropes and more. As someone who grew up dancing, these classes are especially fun for me as I enjoy the aerobics style routines. I saw results in my strength, cardio and muscle tone very shortly after joining these classes. Boxing - I am not a consistent member of the boxing classes, but have done a few drop-in classes and got a great workout! If you are looking for a fast paced, fun and tiring workout I would definitely recommend trying a boxing class. During the class you will switch between heavy hanging bags, speed bags, headache bags as well as individual target mitts with a trainer. Pilates Slide - this is a newer class offered and am hoping that they continue it. I have done pilates at other studios prior and nothing compares to this class. It is a low impact workout but is sure to leave you sweating and feeling toned! If you do not feel like doing a class, they also have a gym on the lower level with cardio equipment, free weights, and machines. I highly recommend giving the Shape Up Shoppe a try and guarantee that you will fall in love with it like I did!

And they still haven't answered any of my following calls or emails. I am not paying for a gym membership when I can't even enter the building. Other than that, the gym itself is pretty decent.

Naturally Awesome…read more I've been going to the same gym for 4 years and they recently closed. Looking for a new gym is a real pain, there are so many choices and it's not an easy decision to make. CoMotion is unlike any gym I've ever been to, in a good way. When I first started working out I was looking for more flexibility as one of my primary goals. CoMo fits the bill for this - their group workouts have many standards like push-ups but they utilize "natural movements" and pepper in circuits with jumping, lifting, throwing and catching. The workouts are not easy - there is a dynamic warmup, then you do some circuits, with some stretching at the end, totalling around 60 minutes. My heart rate monitor shows that I'm putting out more effort and burning more calories than the "regular" group fitness classes I've been doing for years so that's way cool too. Their classes are scheduled at convenient times and the staff is super helpful. They offer a free 7-day trial so that made it super easy to try out before committing to extended visits. If it doesn't suck, it's not worth doing.

A friend told me about IFF (and trainer Shannon) and I finally got up enough guts to check it out with the 2 week trial. I was hooked after the first class. Shannon is positive, energetic, motivating, and supportive. He challenges you while also assisting with any needed adjustments. The classes are tough - but you can go at your own pace, too. The center is split up into two parts: a small gym (personal training, workouts on your own if you choose) and a group fitness room. Classes range from Core to Kickboxing, with others thrown in for variety, including some Insanity-type workouts. Memberships are monthly and you can adjust them to fit your needs (several times a week vs. unlimited, etc.). As a former martial arts student for many years, I really enjoy this aspect of the classes! I know these types of workouts aren't for everyone, but they're perfect for me. I always leave sweaty and tired, but feeling better because I came. I love the small, community feel here and have been so thrilled with my experience thus far. On top of that - I'm seeing results...both physically and mentally. What a difference, truly, a great workout outlet makes! Thanks so much to Shannon and the IFF crew.

I live in the third ward and am able to easily walk here everyday. The 5fh floor weight room has all of the necessary equipment, and the 2nd floor turf area is a great place to stretch, warm up, only do dynamic exercises. The locker rooms could use some updating, but I'm not picky, so this gym has been great. Also, everyone is super nice here. The East Bank community seems to be tight knit and always have activities to take part in!

It's not a bad gym for the money but you do get a mix of shall I say different backgrounds in here…read moreand sometimes those different backgrounds think it's appropriate to play loud music out loud on their phones and then wear shoes in the sauna (both of which are expressly forbidden according to a sign literally posted inside the sauna), and then act like YOU'RE the assh*le when you politely but firmly ask them not to. One individual was snarky af asking about how much I spent on earbuds that didn't noise cancel and I was about ready to tell him that earbuds cost like $15 at Walgreens so why don't you have some but I'm not trying to fight in the sauna, I'm trying to relax. This isn't a I'm-in-your-neighborhood or you're-in-my-neighborhood kind of thing, this is a mixed space, a common ground, and we ALL need to recognize that and act right. The rules are the rules. Don't play loud music on your phone in the sauna. I don't know HOW this establishment is going to enforce those rules, but they NEED to enforce those rules. Inconsiderate people CAN NOT just keep being allowed to be inconsiderate in mixed spaces. I'm sorry. That needs to end.

I completed my Six Week Bootcamp Challenge, and am writing the required, "honest" review included…read morein the terms when I signed up for my "Free" 6 week challenge which cost me, all told $441. But I get ahead of myself. I really want to give an honest, useful review, and I will write from good to bad. Food Program: 5 The diet and exercise program is effective, without being overly complex. In 6 weeks, following their required minimum attendance at 3 bootcamps (I did 4 for two weeks), and mostly following the food plan religiously, I lost 20.1 lbs and reduced my body fat % by 4.4. The results are there to be had, if you commit and don't get injured. They tell you up front that the weight-loss results are 80% from following the food plan rigorously, and I have to agree. The horror of my normal diet was revealed to me as I converted to a low-carb, high protein "clean" diet. I was not hungry ever, though changing habits to cook within the program limitations required some extra time. Nothing worthwhile is easy I guess. Exercise Program: 5 The workouts were excellent. High intensity circuit training, with variety every day. I was amazed to find out how thoroughly my body could be worked in no more than 45 minutes! Different trainers bring their individual styles, and after a couple weeks I knew which classes to attend for best satisfaction. (If you're new to exercise, have laid off for too long as I had, or generally don't know your kettle bells from your lats, please pay attention to the "Personalization" section, later.) Staff: 4.5 Generally decent. The front office staff involved in getting me started all knew their specific roles. Though the "on-boarding" seemed a little rushed, they do have a well-oiled system for getting more and more people into their system. As for trainers -- They all know what they're doing, and led fun classes. I found 3 regular instructors to be especially knowledgeable and willing to work above and beyond the minimums: Hat-tip to Alex Mariani, Andrew McWilliams and Justin Pleznik, who all contributed directly to helping me avoid injury!! Each person will find their own favorites, and these were mine. Personalization: 2 I entered the program as a sedentary 52 year old with back issues. I explicitly noted to everyone I talked to that my priority was not injuring my back. During the induction process, everyone assured me that there would be plenty of custom tailoring to my needs, but I found myself to be largely on my own in making sure I didn't push too hard, too fast. Know thyself! As I noted above, if you're new to exercise, circuit training, groups, free weights, etc., you will mostly be expected to figure everything out on your own, or by watching the regulars. Take things at a pace YOU can tolerate. Don't push too hard and injure yourself on day 1. No one will be telling you not to, aside from the general guidance to work to your own limits. For the price, I expected a little more personal attention to technique, form, etc. I got if from the three mentioned above, but I think those first couple classes are the balance point between a successful course, and a potential horrifying crash into injury. YMMV. Cost/Advertising: 1 I have two issues: First, false/misleading advertising, and second hidden prices/evasive answers. === False/Misleading Advertising === I responded to a Facebook Ad boldly touting a "FREE" 6-week challenge bootcamp. Within moments of entering my initial orientation, I was sat down to discuss cost. It's free, right? Well, "The Challenge is free... we normally sell that for $799, but we're giving it away to you! All you have to do is pay $294, for 6 weeks. After 6 weeks your "Membership will automatically continue at $49 per week. You can cancel any time after your six weeks, but you have to give us 30 Days cancellation notice..." tl;dr - this FREE challenge will cost you $294, which is -- wait for it -- $49 a week!! The same price you will continue having automatically debited after your six weeks ends. And if you're not careful, you're also locking yourself into 4 weeks BEYOND the 6 weeks. If their phrasing leads you to believe you can't give notice of quitting until after your six weeks is complete, you will be locked into 4 more payments of $49. To successfully leave this Six Week program you have to give 30 days notice before you even begin your THIRD WEEK! When I wanted to continue, but not at the VIP level, I asked for alternative price packages. They have nothing in writing to give me. I asked, what would the price be for the right to attend 3 classes a week, instead of unlimited. I was told $67 a week. That is insane, if my unlimited package is $49. Stop the misleading ads. Just tell people it is $49 a week, and no alternatives exist. The only reason I'm not continuing the program is because of this cost/evasiveness issue. Larissa (GM) was super, processing my cancellation quickly, with no hassles. Thank you
